[published in the Valdosta Daily Times]
Columnist Ray Ambrose column in the Valdosta Daily Times on February 7, 2010 is a continuous effort to dishonor our 44th President that read; “Obama’s answer: Blame Bush.” “From President Obama’s inaugural speech to his recent State of the Union Address, he has had a common theme. Bush did it…”
Columnist Ambrose joins Black female Columnist Star Parker and others that spews venomous comments at members of our Armed Forces Executive Commander-In-Chief even though Valdosta is home to Moody Air Force Base.
As a retired military veteran Ambrose column reminds me columnists, mayors, governors and presidents that history records as being on the wrong side of history yesterday. And today the man they fought and condemned (Rev. Martin L. King Jr.,) has the tallest monument erected in his honor for that period.
Not even during slavery, segregation, Jim Crow and classifying Blacks as three fifths of a human being did Blacks and White Right People condemn the other 43 White Presidents to this extent. Therefore will disrespecting the Executive Commander-In-Chief of our military personnel stationed at Moody Air Force Base by this columnist and other local elected officials contribute to closing Moody Air Force Base when the next Base closing comes around?
Our current Executive Commander-In-Chief orders our troops into combat on foreign battlefields to face death. While their children attending Valdosta City School System were not permitted to watch their parents Executive Commander-In-Chief give a speech on live television. Yet these same children will be asked to volunteer and put their life on the line for their country once they become 18 years of age.
It is obvious that Times Columnist Ambrose, Star Parker and other local radio hosts have set a bad precedence in this military town for all future American presidents. As a military veteran I did not serve any political party or religious denomination. I served to protect all American citizens and our allies in time of war and in time of peace.
Moreover respecting our Executive Commander-In-Chief (President Barack Obama) is a time-honored tradition that has made our nation great and should not be taken lightly under any circumstances. God bless the greatness of our beloved nation!
